Reply to What did I miss? Impulse <> Gamestop <> Steam?!? in Technical Sins Forums

It's not THAT particular software, it's all of them. I'm a non-up-to-date, no-social-network-member user who has some strange, nostalgic ideas about property and such stuff. I admit I did copy some stuff when C64 was still "the thing", but afterwards I bought my games and software always. I actually likeld owning them. Ever since I made one exception from that: I accepted (grudingly) that I would have to use Impulse to play Stardock games. The sole reason for that was that

What did I miss? Impulse <> Gamestop <> Steam?!? in Technical Sins Forums

Hello, I'm probably guilty of not following stuff so closely, what what did happen here? I got used to Impulse. fine. Sometime ago along the way that obviously changed to Gamestop which for me somehow seems much worse. But fine. Now 8 month (!!!) after I got the message that my preorder for Rebellion got charged (wasn't the game supposed to go live last year?) I remembered it again and - wohoo....apparently it went live a few weeks ago - and so I wanted to inst

Hello! as it's quite illusionary trying to read through all the 110 pages: is there a post hidden somewhere in this thread which gives some overview about the different ships and their abilities? Beside that: a really wonderful mod indeed you created here! Even though I thought after my first few hours - where I picked of course (!/?) Borg as my race for the coolness factor - that it must be extremly unbalanced as they were so extremly powerful. But t

Reply to Player vs AI Games in Multiplayer Organizer Sins Forums

Had 2 pleasant coop games the last few days, thanks tthewman and Miss.ter :) Could give new fun to the game until the expansion gets out - its just a pity that its usually quite hard to find somebody on ICO for that. Anyway, maybe somebody who's interested and available reads that: What I'd really like to do would be a coop game that isn't that "quick". I'd like to play a game with a partner on a bigger map, with more opponents etc, which would m

Hiya guys :-) nice to "see" you again! - - - - - - - - Oh the stupidness. So I thought "If I play I might as well play an Immense Galaxy, -might be my last game ever after all". But so it doesn't take too long I took rare planets and stuff. /slaps himself for that stupid idea. With some more planets - which would have been rather benefical to flipping - I wold have won ages ago. But no....so it takes ages to invade every single frickin' pl

Reply to Tyranny of Evil - A Metaverse Empire. in Metaverse GalCiv2 Forums

Hiya. been quite a while since I last checked the galciv forum or even played the game. But recently - for whatever reason - I installed the game again and might play one or another game again. Used to be fun. Couldn't believe it was 2007 when I played the game actively....how time flies. OMG. All the splendid evilness that once was....the good ol'times of slave whipping and stuff. Another 4 years gone by already. ;-) *poof

Reply to Cap ship classes earning respect. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

What hinders you to adjust the current Caps to your wishes? I sometimes generare a "clumsy beast" by simply adjusting the values of an existing cap I won't build anyway. That usually gets ~100-150Logistic points, ~4 times the original build cost with Metal being raised the most, long build times. I mod it to be very slow (50-100 usually). It gets ~ 1.5-2 times the defense values (armor, shields) and is being made very slow (~half the speed and 1/4 the acceleration)

a little help for a new player please in Demigod Strategies Demigod Forums

Hello, I've had bought Demigod for quite a while ....missing the fact, that my old PC couldn't handle it at all (or better I assumed it should somehow work at lowest settings - which it didn't really) Now a new system arrived making me able to play it at highest settings eventually. Though...while it's all good fun and I certainly will improve there is a little frustration: I'm not exactly used to getting my a** handed over at easy settings in any game. not at all

Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire 2 anyone in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

1 thing I'd really hope for in a sequel, given a few more years of tech-development would be a real 3D environment. possibly even without fixed warp-lanes. so basically as realistic as possible. And throw in real 3D visuals on top... Should still be a game of course, so with all due simplifications. A possible scenario could for instance be that only "huge" ships can actually go FTL, so in systems you would have small ships as "homefleets" whereas you would only have very

We have free healthcare? what kind of rumour is that? ;-) Well, actually you might have free healthcare if you are unemployed and poor and whatnot. Then yes, you actually have healthcare.

Reply to Questions: Constructor & modding in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

thanks for your anwers. I'm living on the old continent. player base at my peak times wasn't great 2 years ago, and I doubt this will have changed by much... Usually my games take several days/weeks (well~10h effective play time) usually as I never liked small maps. I'm more the MoO/GalCiv-playertype who likes the massive strategic clashes and not so much the "win in a hurry" ;-P Anyway. gonna see how my current game turns out (so far the AIs are just leveling my Caps yet agai

Reply to Questions: Constructor & modding in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I tried ICO a few times in the past, but the games there aren't really made for me. I rarely can commit several hours a piece (kids etc) and the extremly fast "rush" games are nothing I enjoy whatsoever, even if I might even be able to compete somewhat there. So I guess I'm stuck with Singleplayer, as I can pause/leave the game whenever I got/want to ... As you mentioned Diplomacy: I didn't want to buy that, but tougher AIs sound definitely interesting (so far I thought its only some

Hi, I haven't played the game for almost 2 years now ... but recently got back to it. 2 points bug me so I look for some insight here :) - Modding I used to do some minor-tweaking modding when I played it in the past, like changing some ship/ability attributes. There used to be some folder under "c:/.../documents/" in which all the game data files were and where I could with a simple editor adjust some values in the files. Or where I could modify which planets shall be

I'm not the big tech guy, but can you plug in an UBS stick/portable HDD to the university PC? If so...shouldn't it be possible to install Impulse on that portable drive?

Reply to Game doesn't start / "white screen" in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

ok....that seems to be some problem. Game asked me to install the latest driver, which I did. Now I admit I have no clue how to get an older driver. I still remember that 10 years ago one could pick any driver version on the producer homepages, but nowadays? They only offer you the most recent one and that's it. (or better you got to DL a program which then DLs the driver for you). Anyone got more insight into those ATI drivers and knows how to get an older driver?

Game doesn't start / "white screen" in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

My old PC recently went bust, so I wanted to install galcivII on my old notebook, which should still meet the requirements. So, brand new reinstall from Impulse done Old symptoms: game loaded until the start menu. There all buttons were empty and after a few secs I got a white screen, where I only could get out with ctrl+alt+del read some threads here then and tried some stuff: - DLed some fonts from stardock and extracted them, but that was apparently not the

Oh cool, I want a sister too who types what I tell her to type.

I will let you know when I have more stuff for you to type." But as I'm evil anyway, I may as well say that I

WTF! It's no fair! You are just the puppet emperor! And why do I see myself with +1 only again? And why didn't I get Karma from Mr. H? Wasn't I evil enough?!?!?! The universe is a cruel and unfair place. I love it.

WTH? What promised to be an entertaining day as it started so promising during the first 30 minutes (my time) is already over? /yikes And worst of all, I couldn't even see what he wrote to my Karma. I guess having +4 and only seeing 3 entries means that I was one of Mr. H's favourites. ah well, guess I wanted the cake and eat it too.
